TM M14 - M1 Conversion A la Cheapo.

youonlywish · October 17th, 2006, 21:40

Hey all,

So, as some of you may know, I've decided to try to convert my M14 (TM of course) to a Full wood/metal M1 Garand.

I'll use this thread as an update to periodically let you all know how it's coming along. I would have put this in the Mods or Media folder, but when I'm done, I'll make a post there. I'd like to keep this one here, as it pertains specifically to WWII Airsoft.

So...

I bought:

Brand New Unfinished Walnut Stock (Retail Value - $79.95)

Front Hand Guard Unfinished Walnut (Retail Value - $29.95)

Rear Hand Guard Unfinished Walnut (Retail Value - $29.95)

Butt Plate Assembly (Retail Value - $29.95)

Butt Plate Screw, Lower (Retail Value - $1.95)

Butt Plate Screw, Upper (Retail Value - $2.95)

Butt Swivel (Retail Value - $7.95)

I found a SMOKIN deal and got this all for 120 Shipped from the states.

I have totally dissasembled my M-14, it's core is now safely kept in my gun case.

The stock should probably be here within the next couple days, at which point I will begin my mod. I'll be sure to keep lots of pics and lots of updates.

Cheers.

Billy.

Dude Keep it up as i would like to hear how you did it and how it turns out. I plan on doing this some time as well.

Good luck

Nice you ordered it, I'm gonna be doing it aswell, since phase one A of my mod went to hell hahaha.

Still wanna buy the wood?? :P

Answer me on msn, or I'm gonna have to drive to your house, and we wouldn't want that now would we?

Just an update.
The guy who sent the kit... marked my address down wrong. It's on it's way back to texas, and he'll ship express... 5 days.

quikstrike · October 30th, 2006, 13:42

Actually, Billy, I hijacked the delivery truck...

I'm sorry.

Hah, man I'm gonna stop by when it gets there. Lemme know.

Fader · November 11th, 2006, 17:02

Any updates Billy???

youonlywish · November 12th, 2006, 15:26

As of yet, still waiting on the shipment to arrive.

OMG really... That's not good my friend.

Good news, the M1 kit has been reshipped Global Express Mail. Depending on customs, should be here soon.

youonlywish · November 26th, 2006, 22:48

Good news.
The package has made it's way to stoney creek, should be here in a couple days at most.

MrEvolution · November 26th, 2006, 22:54

damn that stuff is taking its sweet-ass time getting to you eh? anticipation would be killing me if I was you.

youonlywish · November 27th, 2006, 20:02

So, the kit has arrived.

The only issue I can see myself having is fitting the AEG inside this wooden stock and making it all adaptable.

The conversion to make it LOOK like a M1 would be easy. It's just the stock that I was really looking forward to.

I'll update when I make progress.
